Yesterday was one of those beautiful late autumn mornings, fog filtering sunbeams through the trees at sunrise – just magical…

Sci-Fi Seaweed!
On Friday we had a day trip to the coast (a 2 hour drive), the weather was so overcast and dark, but having driven so far I had to make the best of it. High tide was just over and so lots of interesting seaweed had washed up. Taken with the macro in what was very, very wet sand (the tripod sank by the millisecond!), I’ve never seen this type before. To compound issues, I had the macro lens on an old DSLR so the resolution isn’t that great. Still, good to be out 🙂
Such a perfect tree…
Yesterday was an overcast day with many heavy rain clouds rolling in (for us winter isn’t far away) when I spotted this tree up on a hill. It’s shape was so perfect… 🙂
Light and dark…
During the year or with different seasons, there are certain times of day where the light is just magical to us all. At this time for us in the southern hemisphere, sunrise is now getting later and later and the light is just simply beautiful…a moment captured in autumn 🙂
Berry nice!
I promise not to bore you with pictures of grapes during my harvest, but….
… more Pinot Noir grapes. It is a sight I’ve seen so many times, but I always ‘see’ landscapes in the mounds of fruit. This time the stalks look like vine trunks…. 🙂
Harvest time is here….
A quick post as very busy times now. Not the best of images but thought I would share what I see and think about most of the time at the moment! The weather is proving difficult – after months of no rain and now when we need it dry, there are periodic days of wetness or drizzle. Today was a beautiful day with a good pick. This is a bunch of Pinot Noir taken last week after heavy fog.
Fallen…
Last image from my recent visit to Pyalong. I’ve enjoyed this series of posts – they are surreal but then so is the landscape. I’m aware they may be becoming a bit ‘samey’ so something different next time….anyhow, this scene struck me as it was so desolate, dead trees both standing and fallen in a tinder box landscape….
Shadow and cloud…
…and another tree!
Nulla Vale shortly after sunrise a few weeks ago. Today has been a horrible day (with night to come) here in Victoria – fires all around, watching the wind and warning app on the phone, radio is on and fingers crossed. Thoughts to those impacted already.
Wind swept…
In my experience the weather in this part of Australia (Victoria) can be sometimes incredible. Often after a period of very hot days we get a ‘southerly change’. This is in reality quite a shock – it can go from 40 C to 20 C (104 F to 68 F) in literally 30 minutes…the wind changes from a hot northerly to a cool southerly and the winds are often very strong. This happened on Monday and flattened the long grass in this paddock. The prevailing winds are north/south as you can see from the way this tree has grown, bent from south winds.
